Serie A wrap: Inter slip up

Inter Milan were held to a 1-1 draw by struggling Genoa on Saturday as their Serie A title ambitions took a further hit on Saturday.

Genoa withheld the early pressure and frustrated their hosts before going in front through Ciro Immobile in the 77th minute.

Esteban Cambiasso rewarded Inter for their efforts when he headed in an 85th-minute equaliser but it proved to be points dropped for the dominant hosts as they reduced the margin to leaders Juventus to only nine points.

Substitute Marko Livaja missed a glorious chance late on to win it for Inter, hitting his strike against the post from right in front from Diego Milito's cut back.

Lazio and Fiorentina moved ahead of Inter as a result after they both secured wins on the road.

Lazio moved up to second courtesy of a 1-0 win over Sampdoria with Brazilian Hernanes scoring the only goal.

In the late kick-off, Roma made it six wins from their last seven with a 4-2 thumping of AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico.

The damage was done in the first 30 minutes as goals from Nicolas Burdisso, Pablo Osvaldo, Erik Lamela gave the hosts a 3-0 lead.

Lamela doubled his account on 61 minutes and although Roma's Marquinhos was sent off with 12 minutes left – which partly contributed to late consolation goals from Milan substitutes Giampaolo Pazzini and Bojan – Zdenek Zeman's side were still comfortable winners.
